Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are now about to witness the strength of fantasy
knowledge Fantasy Sports Radio Network. You are now tuned into
the Speeds and Spitting Statistician on Fantasy Freestyle up next
on that sifer on the microphone. You know that I'm
(00:20):
one of the best yet, Martinez, you know what it is.
It's your boy, Dame Martinez, a k A. Speeds a
k A. To Spitting Statistician a k A. The Stable
(00:42):
Genius and vocal Minority. And welcome to another edition other
Fantasy Freestyle right here on the Sports Grid Network, episode
number four hundred and twenty two, the double deuce right
here to help you when your leagues and win that cash.
The four hundred and twenty second convening of the Stats
over Beats Pipher got a lot of people already in
the chat room asking questions. We're gonna try and get
(01:03):
to those. We got a big show for you. Okay,
We're going into week fourteen in most settings, all right, unless,
of course, if you remember Dany Otto down in the
pit of misery in an eight team league, then maybe
you're still playing in the regular season. I you know,
I had to do it, Danny, I had to do it.
But um most people your playoffs fourteen, fifteen and sixteen.
So week fourteen it is playoffs. And you know, Danny, Um,
(01:25):
I'm not gonna talk about your league, I promise, but
um people are hitting me up on Twitter left and
right or asking me questions whether it's on Patreon, on
Twitter or whatever in the chat room, and everybody precurses
this one like I've got to win this week. Uh,
it's a must win for me this week. It's the playoffs.
Of course, it's a must win for you, all right,
(01:46):
And that's how we will treat it accordingly. All right.
We will cheak it with the seriousness that it means
because it's survived in advanced time. You gotta win to
keep on going so that we could ultimately win your
league's and win that cash. So here some of the
names you need to look at, um in terms of
the injuries and how they're trending throughout the week when
it comes to practices. Right, First of all, you gotta
(02:08):
know Darryl Williams was sent to I R by the
Kansas City Chiefs today. All right, this is important to me.
Remember earlier in the week when I told you Darwin
Thompson is gonna help win people leagues. Well, Darryl Williams
is now and I are Damien Williams hasn't you know,
hasn't practiced. They've said they are managing Shady McCoy's reps.
(02:29):
Like Andy Reid just said it out loud. Shady has
admitted it, telling you get as many shares of this
committee as you can because it is going to be
a fluid situation and having that production would be interesting.
Josh Jacobs did not practice today. They've let it be
known that he's actually playing through what is a fractured shoulder.
That's absolutely ridiculous. He's still top five in rushing, still
(02:51):
the likely rookie of the year in the NFL. But
keep an eye out on that um because maybe not
this week, but if a gang's banged up anymore, or
if the Rays get bounced out of contention, he may
be another player on that list of players that may
get shut down. All right. Also, Gerald Everett did not practice.
Remember I told you Tyler Higbee might be the tight
end to own. I even had him in the waiver
wire earlier in the week. Hunter Renfro didn't practice with
(03:14):
rib Adam Feeling still didn't practice with that ammy, James
Conner has been ruled out already. Uh for the Pittsburgh Steelers, okay,
with that shoulder injury, James Connor. Listen, I weeks ago,
I told you I was really worried about Connor, and
then he played what a quarter? And again when we
haven't seen him since. I think he's played a quarter
in like the last seven weeks. I know because I
(03:35):
have shares of him in high stakes leagues or my
big home dynasty league where I'm looking to go three
pet um so. And they also, though said, which is
really bad. They also said that Connor is closer to
getting on the field than Juju is. So that means
to me, we ain't gonna see Juju either. How do
I parlay that into my DFS line. I'll tell you
a little bit later on in the show. But Connor
(03:57):
and Juju still both do not look good, uh for
the Brooks Steelers. T Y Hilton does not look good
for the Indianapolis Colts. They're not talking about He's unsure
if he's gonna return this season. The riding is on
the wall already if they fall out of contention. T
Y Hilton maybe a guy that gets shut down. So
what did I say last week? Jack Doyle could be
(04:17):
a pivot, right, We saw what Zach Pascal did. Alright,
they still haven't really activated Devin Funchius. It does look
like Paris Campbell maybe back. It does look like Marlon
Mack maybe back, because Marlon Mack had a full practice
today with that hand. Remember he broke his hand, Oh
is it two three weeks ago and everybody wanted to
run to Jonathan Williams and then he put it in
my eye for like a week or two and then
(04:39):
it regressed the way it's supposed to. And now Marlon
Mack is back. Okay, So keep an eye out on that.
It looks like Mac will be back for the Colts
this week as they take on the Tampa Bay Bucks,
and that's a very interesting game. Also, you'll see remnants
of that in a DFS lineup also going on right
now or not right now, but in an hour. So
Taylor Gabriel not really out, so it will be So
(05:00):
Anthony Miller looks like he's gonna continue on getting a
lot of targets. You may see him in the prop
bets later on in the show. And it looks like
Pollard for Dallas is a game time decision with that ankle.
So we'll try and get word on him in this
hour as well, and we'll see because listen, if there's
no Pollard, this is gonna be all the zeke, all
the time, all zeke that you can get um other
news and notes. Remember we talked about the Carolina Panthers
(05:23):
fired Ron Rivera or they quote unquote mutually parted ways.
That means he was fired people. All right, but and
what do you know? Two days later they decide that, yeah,
Cam Newton is going to have the surgery, ending his season, right,
because I'm gonna say, this is Cam and this is
Cam being like, all right, it's clear that Caroline is
moving on, so I need to be right for whoever
my next team is, all right, so might as well
(05:45):
have the surgery now instead of pushing it back. And
by the way, you may have heard that Danny Dimes
was still in a walking boot, not practicing. So Eli
Manning's gonna be back starting for the New York Football
Giants against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Actually that's
a Monday night game. I also want to let you
guys know we got a poll question up. Alright, the
(06:06):
poll question is, you know, it's interesting right now there
are four six and six teams in the NFL, four
teams that stand out exactly five hundred. Okay, you got
the Raiders at six and six, the Colts at six
and six in the a f C, and then in
the NFC you've got the Bears and the Cowboys at
six and six. Well after tonight, one of them, barring
(06:27):
a tie, of course, one of them is gonna be
over five hundred. One of them may use tonight to
get on a roll. And to the poll, you like
the Bears, you like the Cowboys, or do you think
it's one of those a FC teams that are at
six and six, the Colts of the Raiders, that are
primed to in fact, you know, be more confident and
make a run something like that so that they will,
you know, maybe be closer to contending a little bit
(06:49):
later on. Let's see what we got right now. Right now.
A lot of you like the Cowboys as that team,
and I know that they have a different path to
the playoffs because they still sit as the nf the
East Division champion, But look at their schedule and look
at the Eagle schedule and tell me what you think
would happen four weeks from now. I talked about it
a little bit before. We shall see. All right, here's
(07:11):
what we're also gonna do. We're gonna go through home dogs,
double digit dogs DFS lineups, but I'm gonna try and
Danny let them know, open up the phone lines. I'm
gonna try and answer as many questions as possible in
that last segment, will take as many calls as quant
as possible. Sit starts all that stuff so we can
help you when your leagues win that cash, because I
know it's a must win week for everybody. You know
what I'm saying, Dilly, Dilly, let's go. Let's get your
(07:34):
fantasy freestyle. NFL season is now ALTNAS and you can
bet the eighth person to win one million dollars in
a fandueler Draft Kings tournament. My sittinger lineups using the
Daily Order dot Com DFS line of optimizer. If you're
playing daily Fantasy Sports and not using Daily Order dot Com,
you're doing They're all sign up now for the NFL
Access with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections, and better results.
(07:57):
Inserfer well, good action, first ten per cent discap and
that's for look good actually, first dis camp tailor rider
dot com where millionaires are made. Ye. Hey, hey hey,
(08:18):
it's the Fantasy Freestyle right here, episode four hundred and
twenty two with the status over Beat cipher here on
the Sports Grid Network. What we're gonna do is, guys,
I'm gonna open up the phone lines next segment. All right,
so if you want to get in, you want to
call the spitting statistician, We'll try and work through some
of your questions. We can make that happen. I'll open
the phone lines in the next segment. We'll see if
you guys want to call on in. Remember the number
(08:38):
to call is eight four f three six eight seven nine.
A lot of people talking about three out of four
leagues they're in their playoffs. Whatever they did. I saw
my boy Frank Stanfell do that as well. Uh, talk
about it. I UM, I am in the playoffs in
five leagues. I have a buy in two of them
out of the like seven or eight that I was in.
(09:00):
So you know, we're doing what we gotta do to
win our leagues and win that cash. Let's talk about
some of these uh, what I think are interesting games
this week. We'll leave Thursday night, you know, for the
end of the show. But you know, here on Thursdays,
what we always do is we talk about the home
dogs and the double digit dogs. Buffalo is a home
(09:20):
dog against the Baltimore Ravens, and I gotta tell you something.
It's gonna happen eventually. You know that you can't keep
going up against these great defenses and just be dominant
all the time like Lamar has been. I I don't know.
I mean, but the Buffalo defense is good. Now can
Lamar run all over them? Maybe? And is the Buffalo
(09:41):
past defense better than the run defense? Yes? Right? But
but but Buffalo is sort of proving themselves to me.
This is something of a stay away from me. It
opened at five, it is now at five and a half,
So that means the money is moving towards Baltimore, giving
Buffalo more of a home dog. I could see, guys,
I would not be so price. I don't think Buffalo
wins this game, but I could see this being a
(10:02):
close game. I can see this game being much like
we saw when Baltimore played San Francisco last week. You
know what, if I say that Buffalo is very similar
and it's in Buffalo. I think Baltimore wins this game,
but I don't know that they cover. I would take
the points with the home dogs the Buffalo Bills in
that one, but of course we will have more time
(10:24):
to discuss these, so you can catch me on Sunday
morning right before game time and see if there's any
additional movement or insights that change. But now I'm leaning
towards the home dog and the Buffalo Bills. Another home
dog is the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jacksonville Jaguars are getting
two and a half points against the against the Chargers
this week, and it's now three on FanDuel, and I
(10:45):
gotta tell you the truth. I don't understand why I
think this is a good play. I would take the
points and I'm playing the Jacksonville Jaguars. The the Chargers
are a dumpster fire these days. They were thinking about
benching Philip Rivers and the Chargers never do well flying
West to eat. We talked about it all the time,
and we've seen that this Jaguars team has more spunk,
more spark with Gardner Minshew under center, and they are
(11:08):
going back to Minshew. I believe in Minshew Mania. I
think Jacksonville could win this game outright. To be quite honest,
I think they will be bringing it, Whereas I think
the Chargers, you know, they're kind of on their last legs.
They're kind of unraveling in my opinion. So I'll take
the point here. So Buffalo as a home dog, I
think diamond in the rough. Jacksonville as a home dog,
I think diamond than the rough. The next one is
the Oakland Raiders at home against the Tennessee Titans. All right,
(11:31):
and the Raiders at home are getting two and a
half points. One of the things I've been telling you
for the last few weeks is that I am ready
to buy into these Tennessee Titans. I'm ready to believe
in Ryan uh Tannehill and this offense to putting up
thirty points a game under Tannehill, and I think that
this is going to continue. We know about Josh Jacobs
(11:53):
a little bit banged up, remember Josh Jacobs two weeks ago. Again,
Cincinnati ran like Niac last week against the different Jets.
Defense couldn't get it done right. And this Tennessee Titans
run defense, I believe it's fourteenth in the league, right
in the middle, so I think he'll have a little
bit of tough sledding. But I just believe in Tennessee.
(12:14):
I think they can score points now. I think they
are on the rise, and I kind of think that
Oakland had their best part of the season already passed them.
I think this Oakland plus two and a half is
full gazy. I would forget about it and take the
Tennessee Titans on the road to cover the number. Another one.
The Arizona Cardinals are getting a point in a half
against the Pittsburgh Steelers at home. UM and this one
(12:35):
was a point and a half. It has moved to
two and a half, so this money coming in on Pittsburgh,
I disagree. I would take the Arizona side at home
with the points. I know Arizona is fast paced. I
know they can score. Does this Duck Hodges led team
have enough in the tank with no Judeju, no Connor
quite frankly to keep up. I don't think so. I
(12:56):
like Arizona as a home dog here getting what was
one and a half is now two and a half,
and if if, if it's moving away from me, I'll
just wait to see if it goes to three and
then take it out a full field goal at home.
And the last one is what I believe is the
Sunday night game UH Seahawks and Rams. And this line
has moved. This line has moved big time. People. The
Rams were getting two and a half points. They are
(13:19):
now and this is weird. They are now one point favorites.
So that's a three and a half point line move people,
so in the Rams direction. So maybe you want to
follow the money. This is something I would then stay
away from because we haven't heard anything horrible about Russell
Wilson or Girly or anything like that that would cause
this to move. I don't think this is an injury
(13:39):
thing per se. So if anything, this is just people
thinking that first number was a bad number and the
money all coming in on the Rams. I don't know
if that's the way I would go. We've talked about
Seattle in prime time, We've talked about these divisional matchups,
So I'm gonna hold out hope on this one. I'm
not gonna beet this one now. I'm gonna stay away
from it, much like I told you to stay away
from UM, which is the other one. I told you
(14:01):
to stay away from I told you to stay away
from Buffalo Baltimore as well. That one I'm not as
strong on. I do believe in the Jacksonville one. I
do believe in the Tennessee and I do believe in
the Arizona play as well. There's also some double digit
spreads this week, and we like those double digit spreads
um because at the beginning of the season it was like, oh,
these teams are so horrible. They're covering the seventeen, they're
(14:21):
covering the twenty one. Remember when we had two twenty
point spreads. What was that like week four or a
week five? And now all of a sudden, look, Carolina
was ten point favorites against Washington. They lost out right.
Philly was a ten point favorite against Miami, they lost
out right. So let's look at some of these for
this week. Houston is a ten point favorite, or at
least they were against the Denver Broncos. I'm looking now
(14:46):
and it's nine and a half, so in essence, still
a double digit line. I like Houston in this one.
I think they're rounding into form. Okay, remember I told
you I had them beating New England last week. I
think Deshaun Watson can make plays. But what I'm looking
at is that secondary. That's secondary. Gave Tom Brady fits
on Sunday Night, and now they see Drew Lock. I
(15:07):
would say that Brady is in a better position to
read defenses than Drew Lock. I would say that Brady,
even though he doesn't have trust with his most of
his receivers, he's still at James White. He's still a
Julian Edelman. I'll give you Courtland Sutton the Broncos, who,
by the way, has had an amazing sophomore campaign. Remember,
by the way, at the beginning of the season, where
(15:28):
I said there's a lot of second year wide receivers
that I thought would be ascending that I wanted parts
of right Courtland Sutton, I said, Chris Godwin, these young
receivers that we're sending Calvin Ridley. But I digress. Um. So,
I think that Houston defense has started getting into form,
and uh, I think they can cover this number. I
(15:49):
think they can stifle Drew Lock in the Denver Broncos.
They can pick them off at least once as well.
And listen, now it's fuller back and all these guys back.
It's more than just what Chris Harris can handle. Remember
Von Miller was banged up a little bit as well.
So I will lay the points with the Houston Texans.
I think they are, you know, on the upswing Minnesota
big time favorite thirteen and a half points against the
Detroit Lions and David bow Um it's now thirteen listen.
(16:14):
I tell you the Minnesota Vikings are a much better
team at home than they are on the road. So
I'm it's okay to me that they lost a close
game to Seattle on the road on Monday, all right.
I think this Detroit Lions team, now, Blow second time around,
was still like you know me, I've believed in Bow
but both Scarborough on the road. Now with this Minnesota
defense in Minnesota, I struggle to wonder. I struggled to
(16:37):
think if Blow will be able to do much now
that there's some tape on him. I do think Minnesota
can put this one away, and I think they're gonna
try to. I think They're gonna try and do that,
so they could rest Dalvin Cook and get Alexander Madison involved.
But I'll lay the points with the Minnesota Vikings. I'll
lay the points with the Houston Texans. One more is
green Bay Packers. The green Bay Packers are big favorites.
(16:57):
I think they're the biggest favorite of the week. The
green Bay Packers are at home, and they are also
thirteen point favorites. It was as high as fourteen. Washington
had their one good week last week when they were
able to run the ball. I know teams can run
against Green Bay, but I think Green Bay knows they
need this game. Washington Minnesota is right there in the division.
(17:17):
Green Bay is also fighting teams like New Orleans and
San Francisco potentially for a buy. So I think they're
gonna put away the Washington football team at lambeau Field.
To be quite honest, I think they'll do it pretty easily.
I got a question from the chat room already decks
the Rojas, asking me about Jordan and Howard. I think
Jordan Howard is incredibly viable to the Eagles offense. I've
been saying it for the last few weeks. He is
(17:37):
their left hand right and he's what gives them balanced.
I don't think they're gonna shut him down. I don't
think a gy or Sanders. Yes, if Howard is back,
he can be a very important start for you. All
right on the other side of the break, what we're
gonna do is we'll talk a little game of inches,
We'll talk a little DFS, and we'll have the phone
lines open in case you want to talk to spitting statistician.
(17:57):
This Fantasy Freestyle Episode four twenty two, Jilly Dilley, come
on back. NFL season is now upon us, so you
can be going the eighth person a wain one million
dollars in a Fanduler Draft Kings tournament. My setting there,
lineup using the Daily Order dot Com DFS lot of optimizer.
If you're playing daily Fantasy Sports and not using Daily
(18:19):
Order dot Com, you're doing there all sign up down
for the NFL Access with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections,
and better results into promo code action. First hender cent
discount is that's promo code action. Frist hendver sent discount
Daily Order dot Com where millionaires are made. Here we go, Yo,
(18:48):
Here we go Yo. So wants the wats the watz
dot scenario because you know Bo knows this and boos that,
but Bo can't wrap, so bono no, Jack and I
know both. Scarborough is someone that I may start to
fade up against that tow uh that stout run defense
of the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota. I see a bunch
of questions here in the chat room. Let me answer
(19:09):
to those. James Ruta is asking me about Kirk versus Gallup.
I'd take Christian Kirk over Michael Gallup. Tonight, um Terry
asked me a couple of questions. I'll give me Russ
over golf. All right, you gotta take the potential m
v P. Even though I know of golf may become
a volume throw. I'll still lean Russell Wilskins, Um Terry
of the wide receiver as you listed, give me Zach Pascal,
(19:31):
and at tight end, I will go Darren Waller over
Jack Doyle. Although I do like Doyle, and Tommy Gunns
is asking for a sleeper tight end. I gave out
Jack Doyle last week after the Ebron injury. Um, I
like Tommy Gunns. I like Tyler Higbee as well. He's
coming off a nice performance now that Gerald Edward is
banged up. Let me know who's available for you, Tommy,
and maybe I'll give you another answer. Fernando dimas Um
(19:54):
with Golladay. Here's the thing in season long, guys, you can't.
You have to start your studs. You have to start
your guys. You have to start the guys who got
you there. Do not get too cute in the playoffs. Okay,
so yes, you would start Goladay even though it is
Wow throwing on the ball. There it is, Danny. Hey, hey, hey,
(20:16):
there you go. Oh you got Higgy already, Tommy guns.
That's fine, Tommy, Tommy. I think Higby is gonna be
just fine, all right, I really do. I think Higby
is gonna be just fine in a part of that offense.
He was a big part last week. Um. But in
any event, Ben and some of the others that are
trying to call in, uh, we're gonna open up the
phone lines in a hot second, Danny. Let people know
when you open them up, all right, and put in
(20:37):
the number to call it tight for four eight for three,
uh six eight seven nine. So Ben and uh d
Lee and a couple of others. Uh, you'll have your
time to talk to just spit in statistician. Let's talk
a little bit first, Danny. I can't believe this, Danny.
I want to talk about game of inches real quick,
Danny and um You're not gonna believe this, Danny. You're
(20:58):
not gonna believe this. Our four finalists, right, we're perrying
from week three the Chicago Beart sack on the last
play of the game, lost by point zero four. In
week six, Zach lost on the Mason Crosby field goal
could have been extra point greg in week seven that
was the thing that you had. Also, Danny, remember the
sony michelle Vis James White on Monday Night Football and
(21:20):
then week ten our guy to close with Chris Ventra
on the Jason Myers field goal in overtime. And I
gotta tell you, guys something, Danny put up. The Game
of Inches that I gave you the screenshot for. This
is also in the g S T League. Alright, you
guys know our boy Adam Roynas Ronus lost by point four.
(21:43):
That's a tough one. Had Russell Wilson lost by point four,
So that's tough, Okay, But I'm bringing this one up, Danny,
because I gotta circle back to venture and Game of Inches.
So yeah, Ronas lost this one by point four, and
this is the last week of the season. You see though,
that Adam Rynas is seven and five. You see that, Danny.
(22:06):
All right, now put up the g ST standings that
I gave you. Okay, there you go. And I do
this for a couple of reasons. One to show you
who's in first place, right, Danny, You see who? Who?
Who won the league? Danny? Who won the league? That
the name looks familiar. There you go, there you go.
So a lot of people y'all know about this. Billy
Hayes is sometime in the chat room as well. All right,
(22:28):
he's got a team in there as well. At Billy
Hayes finished third. But here's the thing, Danny, what if
I told you that in this league, the way the
six teams for the playoffs were decided, we're you know,
first was the best record, So that was me. I
got the one seed. But Danny, what if I told
you that the second place team would be whoever had
the highest points in the league, regardless of their record.
(22:52):
Do you see who that is, Danny, The highest point
total in the league, regardless of record. Yeah, to Adam Roynas.
Adam Roynas, even down at seven and six, his nineteen
hundred and seven points, even at seven and six, was
the highest point total in the league, beating me out
by eight points. So Danny, if you have to take
(23:14):
Adam Ryness in the playoffs because he's the highest point total,
and you have to take speed Cipher. You know what
they then do, Danny. They then take the next two
best records, so that's Medina Sad and Billy Hayes, and
then Danny, they take the next best points. So the
closer at eight and five, look at n y Post,
(23:38):
who's all the way down at four and nine. What
if I told you in this league, n y Post
got the final playoff spot, not the closer, Danny. So
you can take those standards off the off the stage
of the screen. But that means, Danny that with that
one loss that he had by his game of inches,
it meant that Ventra did not make the playoffs in
the G S T League because of his game of inches.
(24:01):
You're laughing in response, But that's messed up. That's tight, Danny, Right,
all you got all you have his laughter? I mean
because it's yeah, not because it's anybody. So here's what
I need, Perry Ying, if that lost by the Bears
on Monday Night football cost you the playoffs, let me know, Zach,
if that lost on the Mason Cosby field goal cost
(24:23):
you the playoffs. Let me know, Greg, if you're a
Week seven loss with James White and Sony Michelle cost
you the playoffs, let me know, because Danny, the game
of inches in Week ten literally cost Chris Ventra the
playoffs in an industry expert league. G st that's wild.
(24:43):
I know you can do his laugh okay, because it's
me that's messed up. And by the way, you saw
a Dane eleven and two dominant fashion in the expert League.
We'll see how much cash I went about that. Um uh,
we could also put up put up the pit league, Danny,
we put up standing is just so everybody knows pitt league.
Forget about fool gay zes in playoff position. George Kurt
(25:06):
shout out to him, e y our friend Eric Young,
the bff's uh the better car, Donal that's our feueless leader,
my car, Donald's son me and then never gonna pay
is Jim Day. What I noticed about this, though, Danny,
is that all the hosts made it, you know, um
except for Mr Ventra. Who's where's Antonio? Tain't that a shame?
(25:26):
Was Joe ROHNERI Davis Maddock right, just missed it, Um,
but you know, so it is me against the better
cardno in the first round of the playoffs, so that's
pretty good. And then put up another one. Put up
the Flex League, Danny yep um, and as you see,
this is the Flex League of experts. Adam Rowns again
doing big things. But he just want I want to
show you in this one, Danny, I'm in third at
(25:47):
eight and five. I finished with the three seed. The
sixth seed in this one is Jen Ryan of the
Football Diehards. But Danny, check out her points at eighteen
hundred and three points. She had over a hundred points
more than anybody in the league, and she finished in
sixth place and now at third place, I gotta deal
with Jen Ryan, the highest scoring point total of the
damn league. I gotta face her in the very first
(26:08):
round of the playoffs as the three seed. I don't
think that's right, Danny. What do you say you can
take those off the screen. That's messed up, though, right, Danny?
Third place? Like, I think I'm going good. I think
I might have an easier first round matchup and I
get literally the person who has the best team or
has the most points in the league so I'm not
excited about that. I must tell you the truth. But
in any event, all right, here's what we're gonna do.
(26:30):
Danny officially open up the phone lines. Okay, you have
them open. Oh and what do you know? It looks
like not only do you have them open, but we
have a caller. And let's take a caller right now.
It's Liz and CALLI. Liz and CALLI. Let's make sure
we get what you need to set your lineups week
four teen. I hope you can win a playoff matchup. Liz,
what's up? I haven't spoken to you in a long time. Dilley, Dilly,
(26:50):
how can we help you? Hey, how's everybody doing? Good? Good?
What's up? Well? First of all, I'll make a playoffs
things to cipher us always and uh And I had
a quick question though for an RB two foll PPR.
I'm studying the Devin Singletary. I'm not so confident about it.
(27:14):
So I was thinking I was switching in with Jamal Williams.
So you're asking Singletary or Jamal Williams. Yeah. Yeah. And
the thing is because the bills have buffalo, right, and
so you're a little bit afraid of that defense is
that it is that what it is list. Yeah, and
I understand that, But here's the thing. I'm ultimately my
answer is stick with Singletary, Okay, And the reason for
(27:36):
me is this, Liz, and thanks for the call. As always,
Jamal Williams is pretty much that passing back for Green Bay.
You know this, You've had him on your roster all year, right.
Aaron Jones get does a lot of the running and
Jamal Williams gets a lot of the catches, right, Liz. Yeah,
And so I don't think the Packers are gonna need
that to beat Washington this week. You know, they're one
of the big time favorites. Remember green Bay is a
(27:59):
is a two touched on favorite against Washington. So if
you play that out, you think they're gonna probably be
up big. I think they're gonna be up big against Washington,
and I don't think they're gonna need the pass catching
back as much, if that makes sense. So I think
Aaron Jones will be on the field a little bit
more as they try to run out the clock in
the second half, and I would just lean towards Singletary.
Makes sense, Liz, it makes total sense. Yeah, absolutely, And
(28:21):
absolutely happy to have you made the playoffs thanks to
the cipher for sure. Oh man, we got another caller
and it is uh. It is a real deal member
the stats over Beats cipher. It is a member of
the stats over beats cipher. That correct me if I'm
wrong you? Uh, you got a playoff matchup in the
stats over Beats league. Right, We've got Danny Lee of
(28:42):
the undisclosed location on the line. Danny, what's going on? Brother? Man? Hey? Yeah,
pretty much luckily got in, which he didn't lucky to out. Yeah,
because Danny lost, right right right? You pushed out, Danny. Listen, Danny.
I didn't prompt him to say that. Man, It's not
like I prepped them or anything. But yes, Danny Lee,
(29:05):
you are in the playoffs, facing off the PayPal Steelers
against in our league. Uh. I don't know. I gotta
be I gotta be objective though. What's your question, though, Danny?
How can I help you? Uh? This is actually this
is actually for another way, Okay, I feel even better
about helping you. Go ahead. Um, so I need three
(29:25):
r vs is Ppru DeVante Freeman, Philip Lindsay, Joe Mixing,
Miles Sanders, James White or Donna win Thompson is PPR. Yeah,
how many do you need? Three? Three? James White, Philip
(29:46):
Lindsay and Miles Sanders are my three, especially if there's
no Howard and it doesn't look like how it is
even cleared yet, right, So Howard, James White because it's PPR,
and Lindsay for sure are the ones for me all Danny,
how does it feel though to be in the playoffs
in the first ever stats over beats league? You know, man, Hey,
(30:06):
I just appreciate the opportunity voted me and I appreciate
the cipher everyone. And you got your friendship bread already too, right,
you've got your friendship bread too, Oh delicious station and
ask what's up? The cipher grows, that's what's up. Well,
thanks for the calling, Danny. I gotta get back. We
gotta go to a break real quick. We got some
other callers. If you want to get down, please do Danny,
(30:27):
thanks for everything. As always, We'll answer more calls and
I'll give it a DFS lineup. We'll talk about Thursday
Night football as well. Bears and Cowboys on the Horizon.

It's episode four hundred and twenty two with a fantasy
(31:34):
freestyle here on Sports Grade with the status over the
beats cipher. Here we're gonna do. I see people wanted
to call in. Okay, we're gonna get to as many
calls as possible, but we only got one segment left.
I gotta give you some DFS nuggets. We're gonna answer
as many of your calls as possible because I know
people got six start questions and that is quote unquote
must week, must win week. Jared is here. Also, he's
gonna be joining me on in Game Live. He filled
(31:55):
in for Joe Naryan maker Rain. We've been you know,
we've been talking forever, and you know, Jared, everybody on
social media that hits me up is like, I gotta
win this week. Like, yeah, it's the playoffs, you know, no,
no doubt playoffs. Talking about playoffs all right in any event,
But I do have some DF knuckets. I want to
get out and make sure I get out before we
(32:15):
go to the calls and before we go to my
thoughts on Thursday Night football. So I'm gonna tell you something.
I look at these totals again, That's what I always do.
I look at the totals first, right, and I see,
all right, forty seven for Caroline Atlanta, forty seven and
a half for Indie Tampa. That one looks interesting, uh,
forty eight for Kansas City, New England. But I kind
(32:37):
of think everybody's gonna be on Kansas City, New England.
So I like, I see, oh, forty seven and a
half for Tennessee, Oakland, So I'm gonna tell you right now,
I like this Indianapolis Tampa Bay game, all right, and
so you're gonna see a lot of these guys in
my lineup. And then oh, look at this Arizona Pittsburgh game.
(32:57):
I think that one is an interesting one as well.
So let's look at some of these guys I have.
I'm doing it again, people, I know, I do this
all the time. Every week. I'm like, yep, and I'm
going back to this guy, my DFS quarterback this week,
Jamis M. F. Winston again. All right, Jamis Winston is
atred against Indianapolis. Last week, he had a streak snapped
(33:18):
of throwing for three hundred yards and a touchdown. He
did that like six or seven games in a row.
And the reason he didn't do that is because the
Bucks were up like twenty five nothing at halftime against Jacksonville.
I don't think that's gonna be the case against Indianapolis
this week. Okay, So I think that Jamis will be
a volume thrower. I remember how I say what's good
(33:39):
for fantasy is not good for the real team. I say,
we don't want Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan Jared
Goff throwing the ball forty five times because it's bad
for the real team, but it's good for the fantasy team,
and Jamis is one of them as well. Give me
Jameis Winston a undred against Indianapolis. I think you know
that was odd last week that they were able to
run for two scores. He's going back to slinging it
(33:59):
and you know you could literally pick either one of
his wide outs to stack with. Give me Mike Evans.
Mike Evans is actually the cheaper of the two wide
receivers on FanDuel. If you could believe that Evans is
at sundred, Godwin is at seventy. All right, I think
Mike Evans is actually going under respected right now because
(34:20):
everyone's all over Godwin. You know that Mike Evans is
still fourth in the NFL and targets for a hundred sixteen.
You know he's still third in the NFL and receiving yards,
and he's had four games in a row with only
four catches. I think that means the law of averages
is I'd go to Evans instead of Godwin. If you
want to do Evans and Godwin, I don't care. Remember
(34:40):
I said when got. Evans is third in the NFL
with ten ninety six receiving yards. Well Godwin is second
with more, Okay, and that speaks to what, Yeah, jameis
Winston throwing for them yards, So I'm gonna go Winston.
I'm gonna stack him with Evans at the running back position.
What have I been saying? I told you about Josh
Jacobs his prop bet when they were facing the Cincinnati Bengals.
(35:02):
I rail against Adam Gaze when they don't give Levian
Belle the ball against the Cincinnati Bengals. Who the Bengals
see this week, Cleveland, I don't care what the prices is.
I was like, oh, I'm gonna I'm gonna play Nick Chub,
And then when I went to FanDuel, he was se
that's cheap to me, all right. He's gotten twenty plus
carries in six of his last seven games. If he
(35:24):
gets twenty carries against this Cincinnati run defense, he will
run for a d twenty five yards. I'll take that
Nick Chubb. Another guy I like for a similar reason.
I think the volume will be there again is Leonard
four Nette. Okay, he got games scripted out of the
last game. That's same Jaguars Tampa Bay game. All right,
he has some catches, but they couldn't punch them in
(35:44):
the mouth the way they wanted to. Marone just got
finished saying the previous week that they got to give
Leonard Fournett the ball more. And I think that. I
told you I'm fading the Chargers in their travel west
to east. Right, I think for Net and the Jags
will run it out and run well. I like four
Net at sred. I gave you Mike Evans. Listen, I
believe in the duck hunting, all right, so give me
(36:07):
James Washington at only sixty seven hundred. I told you
there's no juju, right, I believe in duck Duck and
James Washington have a little bit of a bond. You
know they're gonna be throwing because Arizona is very fast paced.
This is going to, in my opinion, be throw and
throw and throwing. And James Washington has the apple of
Devlin Hodges eye. So I like that. And the last
one I did, I told you I was gonna be
(36:28):
on this game. Give me Zach Pascal at sixty unred
against Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is the worst pass defense
in the NFL, and they have one of the better
run defenses. Now, Marlon Mack maybe back for the Colts,
but I'm gonna take these Colts pass catchers. I think
that's the way it's gonna go. I think I told
you it was a high total. I think both of
these teams are gonna be slinging it. So give me
Pascal six hundred. I'll double down and go with Jack
(36:51):
Doyle again as my tight end. I told you about
that on the waiver wire last week. He had six
for sixty three and a touchdown on eleven targets. People,
that's what you need out of a tight end. And
then listen for defense. I said it before. I told
you I believed in them as a double digit favorite.
I like the Houston Texans. Okay. I think the Houston
Texans secondary is turning a corner. They were able to
(37:12):
figure out Tom Brady a little bit. Now they have
Drew lock All right, come in to town. I'll take Houston.
I was saying, Minnesota versus Detroit. If you want to
spend an extra few dollars, all right, let's go to
some of these uh, let's go to uh some of
the phones here up next on the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's
go to Gary and Maine, Danny, Let's go to Gary
and Maine. Gary eure up on the Fantasy Freestyle with
(37:33):
the status of beats Cipher. How can we help you
win a playoff matchup? Brother man? How can we help you? Gary?
Win your leagues and win their gash dilly dilly. Actually,
I'm not in the playoffs on the bottom six. Okay, okay,
you still gotta get double, all right, so do what
you gotta do, brother man. How can you help um?
I got my third and also adding to that, I'm
(37:54):
in last place and I got Todd Curley. Sometimes sometimes matchups,
the matchups, you know what I mean. I'll say this, Gary,
I advocate for people playing more than one matchup in
a week. You know you could play multiple teams, so
you're you avoid some of that bad luck. But go ahead, Gary,
how can I help you? Uh two? For tonight's match
(38:15):
my third Flix spot. I got our second split spot
rather Montgomery or Singletary. I like Singletary. A lot of
people are asking about Singletary, and I know you may
also be a little bit worried about them going up
against Baltimore on Sunday. But I think Singletary is kind
of ascending. Um. And who was who was the other one?
It was Singletary, who was a Montgomery Dave Montgomery, Yep,
(38:37):
I do kind of like, yeah, I do kind of
like Montgomery tonight. I do kind of like Montgomery tonight.
We were talking about it in the morning, the idea
of we think the running backs are going to do
well today against Dallas as opposed to the past game.
That's a coin flip, Gary, Really it is for me, Um,
you know what, because it is a point? What's that?
(38:58):
Are you leading more towards Dave Devon? Yeah, my slight
lane would honestly be Singletary, Gary, it would be Singletary.
But I do think it's really really close. I could
see a valid reason for you the one. But my lean,
if you're asking me, would be towards Devin Singletary on Sunday,
even though it is the Baltimore Ravens. I think he
could do someone in the passing game as well. All right,
(39:18):
all right, thank you anytime, Gary, Thanks for calling. Uh,
let's go to Nick in Colorado. It looks like Nick
and Colorado. What's going on? Man? How can we help
you win your leagues and win that cash you were
on with the spitting statistician. Thank you, guys, thanks for
having me full point PPR. I've got a wide receiver
lineup question for you. So right now, I've got Julio
(39:44):
Godwin and Parker from Miami and my wide receiver one
too in flex I like that. I've got Keenan Allen
and Allen Robinson benched am I making the right moves,
are making the right moves Keenan Allen or uh whoever?
They do not cractice. You gotta start Julio right. I
know they say he's a little bit banged up, but
(40:05):
if he's active, you gotta start him. You have to
start Godwin at this point. And honestly, you know this
better than most nick like Davante Parker has been an
absolute beast in the last month. Okay, so you can't
take Parker on your lineup at this point, right, I
think that's you gotta go with those three. I think
you have it right. I understand you probably drafted Keenan
Allen and like the second round, there's something you know.
(40:25):
You probably started your draft Julio Jones and Keenan Allen
and now you're like, oh, man, I'm gonna sit my
second round draft pick, right, But no, you gotta have
Parker and Godwin in there. Those are the three with
Julio Nick. Okay, thank you guys. All right, anytime we
can do one or two more, Danny, let's do uh,
let's do the two more we've got. You know who
we got. If you're the cipher, Connor and Tampa. Connor
(40:46):
and Tampa, what's going on? It's not a cipher without
you on the phone. How can we help you? Connor?
You know what a man? Real quick? I swear to
God like literally like one of the most like inconsistently
and like like like one week we'd blow a team out,
in the next week we get blow the hell out. Man.
That's why, honestly, Connor said it. You you can make
(41:09):
settings where you play like four teams in the league
every week, so after week one you don't go one
and O O and one, you go like three and one,
and that mitigates a lot of that. I may do
that in the Status over Beats league next year. But
what's your what's your question? Connor? So I gotta buy
so this is for next week now, not this week.
So the quarterback right now is Kyle Allen, but we
had but we have Derek Carr. We have Derek Cark,
(41:31):
Kirk Cousins, and um, Sam Donald on the waivers, Like,
what's you those guy? Yeah? I gotta look the matchups. Right,
So you're talking about a week fifteen, Well, the Jets
have Baltimore, so it ain't gonna be Donald. Um week fifteen?
Who else did you say? Oakland was one? Right? You
said car They've got Jacksonville. Kirk Cousins might be my answer.
(41:51):
I think kirk Cousins is my answer. Minnesota. Yeah, at
the charges, Um, I know the charges have a good
secondary all, but they're gonna be done by that. Kirk
Cousins is my answer. Connor. Yeah, okay, Man, Well, thank
you real freaking like two hundred bucks on the line.
So good luck to your brother. Good luck to your brother.
I gotta get to one more call. So give me
a call next week and we'll see how it goes
(42:12):
out because you're worried about next week. Last call is
Dan and Jersey. What's going on? Dan? How can we
help you when you're leaving within that cash? What's going on? Jane?
So my teams are a little bit weird. But my
question is I got my receivers and my flex okay,
and so right now my wide receivers, I got his
super cup lock it feelings who might not even play
(42:34):
and Sambo sam You're like, I put one of my
flex Spotify two. So all right, so you're obviously starting
cup and lock it right for me? Chark, Yeah, you
started locking the cup, and I would have Chark in
the flex spot now and you know feeling. To be
quite honest, even if feeling can go, I'm not running
them out there the first week back. You're the interesting
(42:56):
in my league is that I can put in my
flex either a tight end of running back or wide receiver.
And I also have uh, Mark Andres and Doyle. So
I don't know if you want to do like Mark
Andrew Doyle because my other run Yeah, you definitely want
to put mark Ingram in there. Mark, you definitely put
mark Ingram in there. Yeah, So what I wanted for
the flex spots and I put in Doyle, Jamal Williams
(43:18):
or Deepo Samuel Samuel, because right now I have fake it.
I would go with Doyle of those, I would go
with Doyle of those. I think Doyle is gonna get
the targets. I really do, Deebo Samuel will not sure of.
And the other one you said was a running back,
I believe right, yeah, Jamal Williams Now, I don't like
Jamal Williams this week. I think they're gonna run the ball.
They're not gonna need the PPR back against Washington, so
(43:38):
it would be ingram in there. Thanks for the call, Dan,
all right, with only a minute left, guys, I gotta
tell you about this game, all right, I gotta tell
you about this game that's about to pop off. First
of all, if you really you know, Jared taught me something,
and if there's heavy juice on a prop bet, I'm
gonna take it anyway, all right. And so yes, Mitchell
Trobiskie will throw an interception today and I'll lavee the
juice on that. All So, I like that one. I
(44:01):
have a slight lean to the home team plus three
the Bears. I just think, listen, I have not seen
Dallas beat a five hundred or better team, Okay, I
just haven't seen it. And I don't necessarily think the
Bears are an amazing team, but they are at home,
it is Thursday night. Both of these teams have had
a week because they played on Thanksgiving. I have a
slight lean to the Bears as a home three point dog.
(44:21):
But what I really like is the Tarik Cohen props.
Dallas is the fifth worst in the NFL to the
running back position. Out of the backfield, Tarik coh in
three and a half receptions or twenty seven and a
half yards. I think you can go over those. And
on the flip side, Chicago has allowed ten rushing touchdowns.
They don't have a Keen Nix Alright Hicks in there anymore.
I saw both Scoreborough run for ninety eight yards against them.
(44:44):
Give me all the zeke all the time, including him
getting into the end zone for minus one forty. Hopefully
you win your playoff matchups everybody, and you're still here
for Fantasy Freestyle next week when you're one of the
four teams left in the semifinals, and we can still
win our leagues and win that CA shout them out.
NFL season is now upatos, so you can become the

eighth person away one million dollars in a Fandueler Draft
Kings tournament. My sittinger lineup using the Daily Order dot

just going into week fourteen in most settings, all right, unless,
of course, if you re Memben Danny Otto down in
(45:49):
the pit of misery in an eight team league, then
maybe you're still playing in the regular season. I you know,
I had to do it, Danny. I had to do it.
But um, most people your playoffs fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen,
so week four team it is playoffs, and you know, Danny, Um,
I'm not gonna talk about your league, I promise, But um,
people are hitting me up on Twitter left and right
or asking me questions whether it's on Patreon, on Twitter
(46:10):
or whatever in the chat room, and everybody precurses this
one like I've got to win this week. Uh, it's
a must win for me. This week it's the playoffs.
Of course, it's a must win for you, all right,
and that's how we will treat it accordingly. All right.
We will cheat it with the seriousness that it means,
because it's survived in advanced time. You gotta win to
(46:30):
keep on going so that we can ultimately win your
leagues and win that cash. So here's some of the
names you need to look at um in terms of
the injuries and how they're trending throughout the week when
it comes to practices. Right, First of all, you gotta
know Darryl Williams was sent to I are by the
Kansas City Chiefs today. All right, this is important to me.
Remember earlier in the week when I told you Darwin
Thompson is gonna help win people leagues. Well, Daryl Williams
(46:54):
is now and I are Damian Williams hasn't, you know,
hasn't practiced. They've said they are managing Shady McCoy's reps.
Like Andy Reid just said it out loud. Shady has
admitted it. I'm telling you get as many shares of
this committee as you can because it is going to
be a fluid situation and having that production would be interesting.
(47:15):
Josh Jacobs did not practice today, Davy. Let it be
known that he's actually playing through what is a fractured shoulder.
That's absolutely ridiculous. He's still top five in rushing, still
the likely rookie of the year in the NFL. But
keep an eye out on that um because maybe not
this week, but if a gang's banged up anymore, or
if the Raiders get bounced out of contention, he may
(47:35):
be another player on that list of players that may
get shut down. All right. Also, Gerald Everett did not practice.
Remember I told you Tyler Higbee might be the tight
end to own. I even had him in the waiver
wire earlier in the week. Hunter Renfro didn't practice with
rib Adam Feelin still didn't practice with that hammy. James
Conner has been ruled out already, uh for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Okay,
with that shoulder injury, James Conner. Listen, I weeks ago,
(47:59):
I told you I was really worried about Connor, and
then he played what a quarter? And again when we
haven't seen him since. I think he's played a quarter
in like the last seven weeks. I know because I
have shares of him in high stakes leagues or my
big home dynasty league where I'm looking to go repeat.
Um so, and they also though said which is really bad.
They also said that Connor is closer to getting on
(48:20):
the field than Juju is, So that means to me,
we ain't gonna see Juju either. How do I parlay
that into my DFS lineup? Be sure to follow all
our social media at v nd s Y sports Net

names you need to look at, um in terms of
the injuries and how they're trending throughout the week when

Josh Jacobs did not practice today. They've let it be
known that he's actually playing through what is a fractured shoulder.
That's absolutely ridiculous. He's still top five in rushing, still
(02:51):
the likely rookie of the year in the NFL. But
keep an eye out on that um because maybe not
this week, but if a gang's banged up anymore, or
if the Rays get bounced out of contention, he may
be another player on that list of players that may
get shut down. All right. Also, Gerald Everett did not practice.
Remember I told you Tyler Higbee might be the tight
end to own. I even had him in the waiver
wire earlier in the week. Hunter Renfro didn't practice with
(03:14):
rib Adam Feeling still didn't practice with that ammy, James
Conner has been ruled out already. Uh for the Pittsburgh Steelers, okay,
with that shoulder injury, James Connor. Listen, I weeks ago,
I told you I was really worried about Connor, and
then he played what a quarter? And again when we
haven't seen him since. I think he's played a quarter
in like the last seven weeks. I know because I
(03:35):
have shares of him in high stakes leagues or my
big home dynasty league where I'm looking to go three
pet um so. And they also, though said, which is
really bad. They also said that Connor is closer to
getting on the field than Juju is. So that means
to me, we ain't gonna see Juju either. How do
I parlay that into my DFS line. I'll tell you
a little bit later on in the show. But Connor
(03:57):
and Juju still both do not look good, uh for
the Brooks Steelers. T Y Hilton does not look good
for the Indianapolis Colts. They're not talking about He's unsure
if he's gonna return this season. The riding is on
the wall already if they fall out of contention. T
Y Hilton maybe a guy that gets shut down. So
what did I say last week? Jack Doyle could be
(04:17):
a pivot, right, We saw what Zach Pascal did. Alright,
they still haven't really activated Devin Funchius. It does look
like Paris Campbell maybe back. It does look like Marlon
Mack maybe back, because Marlon Mack had a full practice
today with that hand. Remember he broke his hand, Oh
is it two three weeks ago and everybody wanted to
run to Jonathan Williams and then he put it in
my eye for like a week or two and then
(04:39):
it regressed the way it's supposed to. And now Marlon
Mack is back. Okay, So keep an eye out on that.
It looks like Mac will be back for the Colts
this week as they take on the Tampa Bay Bucks,
and that's a very interesting game. Also, you'll see remnants
of that in a DFS lineup also going on right
now or not right now, but in an hour. So
Taylor Gabriel not really out, so it will be So
(05:00):
Anthony Miller looks like he's gonna continue on getting a
lot of targets. You may see him in the prop
bets later on in the show. And it looks like
Pollard for Dallas is a game time decision with that ankle.
So we'll try and get word on him in this
hour as well, and we'll see because listen, if there's
no Pollard, this is gonna be all the zeke, all
the time, all zeke that you can get um other
news and notes. Remember we talked about the Carolina Panthers
(05:23):
fired Ron Rivera or they quote unquote mutually parted ways.
That means he was fired people. All right, but and
what do you know? Two days later they decide that, yeah,
Cam Newton is going to have the surgery, ending his season, right,
because I'm gonna say, this is Cam and this is
Cam being like, all right, it's clear that Caroline is
moving on, so I need to be right for whoever
my next team is, all right, so might as well
(05:45):
have the surgery now instead of pushing it back. And
by the way, you may have heard that Danny Dimes
was still in a walking boot, not practicing. So Eli
Manning's gonna be back starting for the New York Football
Giants against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. Actually that's
a Monday night game. I also want to let you
guys know we got a poll question up. Alright, the
(06:06):
poll question is, you know, it's interesting right now there
are four six and six teams in the NFL, four
teams that stand out exactly five hundred. Okay, you got
the Raiders at six and six, the Colts at six
and six in the a f C, and then in
the NFC you've got the Bears and the Cowboys at
six and six. Well after tonight, one of them, barring
(06:27):
a tie, of course, one of them is gonna be
over five hundred. One of them may use tonight to
get on a roll. And to the poll, you like
the Bears, you like the Cowboys, or do you think
it's one of those a FC teams that are at
six and six, the Colts of the Raiders, that are
primed to in fact, you know, be more confident and
make a run something like that so that they will,
you know, maybe be closer to contending a little bit
(06:49):
later on. Let's see what we got right now. Right now.
A lot of you like the Cowboys as that team,
and I know that they have a different path to
the playoffs because they still sit as the nf the
East Division champion, But look at their schedule and look
at the Eagle schedule and tell me what you think
would happen four weeks from now. I talked about it
a little bit before. We shall see. All right, here's
(07:11):
what we're also gonna do. We're gonna go through home dogs,
double digit dogs DFS lineups, but I'm gonna try and
Danny let them know, open up the phone lines. I'm
gonna try and answer as many questions as possible in
that last segment, will take as many calls as quant
as possible. Sit starts all that stuff so we can
help you when your leagues win that cash, because I
know it's a must win week for everybody. You know
what I'm saying, Dilly, Dilly, let's go. Let's get your
(07:34):
fantasy freestyle. NFL season is now ALTNAS and you can
bet the eighth person to win one million dollars in
a fandueler Draft Kings tournament. My sittinger lineups using the
Daily Order dot Com DFS line of optimizer. If you're
playing daily Fantasy Sports and not using Daily Order dot Com,
you're doing They're all sign up now for the NFL
Access with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections, and better results.
(07:57):
Inserfer well, good action, first ten per cent discap and
that's for look good actually, first dis camp tailor rider
dot com where millionaires are made. Ye. Hey, hey hey,
(08:18):
it's the Fantasy Freestyle right here, episode four hundred and
twenty two with the status over Beat cipher here on
the Sports Grid Network. What we're gonna do is, guys,
I'm gonna open up the phone lines next segment. All right,
so if you want to get in, you want to
call the spitting statistician, We'll try and work through some
of your questions. We can make that happen. I'll open
the phone lines in the next segment. We'll see if
you guys want to call on in. Remember the number
(08:38):
to call is eight four f three six eight seven nine.
A lot of people talking about three out of four
leagues they're in their playoffs. Whatever they did. I saw
my boy Frank Stanfell do that as well. Uh, talk
about it. I UM, I am in the playoffs in
five leagues. I have a buy in two of them
out of the like seven or eight that I was in.
(09:00):
So you know, we're doing what we gotta do to
win our leagues and win that cash. Let's talk about
some of these uh, what I think are interesting games
this week. We'll leave Thursday night, you know, for the
end of the show. But you know, here on Thursdays,
what we always do is we talk about the home
dogs and the double digit dogs. Buffalo is a home
(09:20):
dog against the Baltimore Ravens, and I gotta tell you something.
It's gonna happen eventually. You know that you can't keep
going up against these great defenses and just be dominant
all the time like Lamar has been. I I don't know.
I mean, but the Buffalo defense is good. Now can
Lamar run all over them? Maybe? And is the Buffalo
(09:41):
past defense better than the run defense? Yes? Right? But
but but Buffalo is sort of proving themselves to me.
This is something of a stay away from me. It
opened at five, it is now at five and a half,
So that means the money is moving towards Baltimore, giving
Buffalo more of a home dog. I could see, guys,
I would not be so price. I don't think Buffalo
wins this game, but I could see this being a
(10:02):
close game. I can see this game being much like
we saw when Baltimore played San Francisco last week. You
know what, if I say that Buffalo is very similar
and it's in Buffalo. I think Baltimore wins this game,
but I don't know that they cover. I would take
the points with the home dogs the Buffalo Bills in
that one, but of course we will have more time
(10:24):
to discuss these, so you can catch me on Sunday
morning right before game time and see if there's any
additional movement or insights that change. But now I'm leaning
towards the home dog and the Buffalo Bills. Another home
dog is the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jacksonville Jaguars are getting
two and a half points against the against the Chargers
this week, and it's now three on FanDuel, and I
(10:45):
gotta tell you the truth. I don't understand why I
think this is a good play. I would take the
points and I'm playing the Jacksonville Jaguars. The the Chargers
are a dumpster fire these days. They were thinking about
benching Philip Rivers and the Chargers never do well flying
West to eat. We talked about it all the time,
and we've seen that this Jaguars team has more spunk,
more spark with Gardner Minshew under center, and they are
(11:08):
going back to Minshew. I believe in Minshew Mania. I
think Jacksonville could win this game outright. To be quite honest,
I think they will be bringing it, Whereas I think
the Chargers, you know, they're kind of on their last legs.
They're kind of unraveling in my opinion. So I'll take
the point here. So Buffalo as a home dog, I
think diamond in the rough. Jacksonville as a home dog,
I think diamond than the rough. The next one is
the Oakland Raiders at home against the Tennessee Titans. All right,
(11:31):
and the Raiders at home are getting two and a
half points. One of the things I've been telling you
for the last few weeks is that I am ready
to buy into these Tennessee Titans. I'm ready to believe
in Ryan uh Tannehill and this offense to putting up
thirty points a game under Tannehill, and I think that
this is going to continue. We know about Josh Jacobs
(11:53):
a little bit banged up, remember Josh Jacobs two weeks ago. Again,
Cincinnati ran like Niac last week against the different Jets.
Defense couldn't get it done right. And this Tennessee Titans
run defense, I believe it's fourteenth in the league, right
in the middle, so I think he'll have a little
bit of tough sledding. But I just believe in Tennessee.
(12:14):
I think they can score points now. I think they
are on the rise, and I kind of think that
Oakland had their best part of the season already passed them.
I think this Oakland plus two and a half is
full gazy. I would forget about it and take the
Tennessee Titans on the road to cover the number. Another one.
The Arizona Cardinals are getting a point in a half
against the Pittsburgh Steelers at home. UM and this one
(12:35):
was a point and a half. It has moved to
two and a half, so this money coming in on Pittsburgh,
I disagree. I would take the Arizona side at home
with the points. I know Arizona is fast paced. I
know they can score. Does this Duck Hodges led team
have enough in the tank with no Judeju, no Connor
quite frankly to keep up. I don't think so. I
(12:56):
like Arizona as a home dog here getting what was
one and a half is now two and a half,
and if if, if it's moving away from me, I'll
just wait to see if it goes to three and
then take it out a full field goal at home.
And the last one is what I believe is the
Sunday night game UH Seahawks and Rams. And this line
has moved. This line has moved big time. People. The
Rams were getting two and a half points. They are
(13:19):
now and this is weird. They are now one point favorites.
So that's a three and a half point line move people,
so in the Rams direction. So maybe you want to
follow the money. This is something I would then stay
away from because we haven't heard anything horrible about Russell
Wilson or Girly or anything like that that would cause
this to move. I don't think this is an injury
(13:39):
thing per se. So if anything, this is just people
thinking that first number was a bad number and the
money all coming in on the Rams. I don't know
if that's the way I would go. We've talked about
Seattle in prime time, We've talked about these divisional matchups,
So I'm gonna hold out hope on this one. I'm
not gonna beet this one now. I'm gonna stay away
from it, much like I told you to stay away
from UM, which is the other one. I told you
(14:01):
to stay away from I told you to stay away
from Buffalo Baltimore as well. That one I'm not as
strong on. I do believe in the Jacksonville one. I
do believe in the Tennessee and I do believe in
the Arizona play as well. There's also some double digit
spreads this week, and we like those double digit spreads
um because at the beginning of the season it was like, oh,
these teams are so horrible. They're covering the seventeen, they're
(14:21):
covering the twenty one. Remember when we had two twenty
point spreads. What was that like week four or a
week five? And now all of a sudden, look, Carolina
was ten point favorites against Washington. They lost out right.
Philly was a ten point favorite against Miami, they lost
out right. So let's look at some of these for
this week. Houston is a ten point favorite, or at
least they were against the Denver Broncos. I'm looking now
(14:46):
and it's nine and a half, so in essence, still
a double digit line. I like Houston in this one.
I think they're rounding into form. Okay, remember I told
you I had them beating New England last week. I
think Deshaun Watson can make plays. But what I'm looking
at is that secondary. That's secondary. Gave Tom Brady fits
on Sunday Night, and now they see Drew Lock. I
(15:07):
would say that Brady is in a better position to
read defenses than Drew Lock. I would say that Brady,
even though he doesn't have trust with his most of
his receivers, he's still at James White. He's still a
Julian Edelman. I'll give you Courtland Sutton the Broncos, who,
by the way, has had an amazing sophomore campaign. Remember,
by the way, at the beginning of the season, where
(15:28):
I said there's a lot of second year wide receivers
that I thought would be ascending that I wanted parts
of right Courtland Sutton, I said, Chris Godwin, these young
receivers that we're sending Calvin Ridley. But I digress. Um. So,
I think that Houston defense has started getting into form,
and uh, I think they can cover this number. I
(15:49):
think they can stifle Drew Lock in the Denver Broncos.
They can pick them off at least once as well.
And listen, now it's fuller back and all these guys back.
It's more than just what Chris Harris can handle. Remember
Von Miller was banged up a little bit as well.
So I will lay the points with the Houston Texans.
I think they are, you know, on the upswing Minnesota
big time favorite thirteen and a half points against the
Detroit Lions and David bow Um it's now thirteen listen.
(16:14):
I tell you the Minnesota Vikings are a much better
team at home than they are on the road. So
I'm it's okay to me that they lost a close
game to Seattle on the road on Monday, all right.
I think this Detroit Lions team, now, Blow second time around,
was still like you know me, I've believed in Bow
but both Scarborough on the road. Now with this Minnesota
defense in Minnesota, I struggle to wonder. I struggled to
(16:37):
think if Blow will be able to do much now
that there's some tape on him. I do think Minnesota
can put this one away, and I think they're gonna
try to. I think They're gonna try and do that,
so they could rest Dalvin Cook and get Alexander Madison involved.
But I'll lay the points with the Minnesota Vikings. I'll
lay the points with the Houston Texans. One more is
green Bay Packers. The green Bay Packers are big favorites.
(16:57):
I think they're the biggest favorite of the week. The
green Bay Packers are at home, and they are also
thirteen point favorites. It was as high as fourteen. Washington
had their one good week last week when they were
able to run the ball. I know teams can run
against Green Bay, but I think Green Bay knows they
need this game. Washington Minnesota is right there in the division.
(17:17):
Green Bay is also fighting teams like New Orleans and
San Francisco potentially for a buy. So I think they're
gonna put away the Washington football team at lambeau Field.
To be quite honest, I think they'll do it pretty easily.
I got a question from the chat room already decks
the Rojas, asking me about Jordan and Howard. I think
Jordan Howard is incredibly viable to the Eagles offense. I've
been saying it for the last few weeks. He is
(17:37):
their left hand right and he's what gives them balanced.
I don't think they're gonna shut him down. I don't
think a gy or Sanders. Yes, if Howard is back,
he can be a very important start for you. All
right on the other side of the break, what we're
gonna do is we'll talk a little game of inches,
We'll talk a little DFS, and we'll have the phone
lines open in case you want to talk to spitting statistician.
(17:57):
This Fantasy Freestyle Episode four twenty two, Jilly Dilley, come
on back. NFL season is now upon us, so you
can be going the eighth person a wain one million
dollars in a Fanduler Draft Kings tournament. My setting there,
lineup using the Daily Order dot Com DFS lot of optimizer.
If you're playing daily Fantasy Sports and not using Daily

for the NFL Access with a faster optimizer, smarter DFS projections,
and better results into promo code action. First hender cent
discount is that's promo code action. Frist hendver sent discount
Daily Order dot Com where millionaires are made. Here we go, Yo,
(18:48):
Here we go Yo. So wants the wats the watz
dot scenario because you know Bo knows this and boos that,
but Bo can't wrap, so bono no, Jack and I
know both. Scarborough is someone that I may start to
fade up against that tow uh that stout run defense
of the Minnesota Vikings in Minnesota. I see a bunch
of questions here in the chat room. Let me answer
(19:09):
to those. James Ruta is asking me about Kirk versus Gallup.
I'd take Christian Kirk over Michael Gallup. Tonight, um Terry
asked me a couple of questions. I'll give me Russ
over golf. All right, you gotta take the potential m
v P. Even though I know of golf may become
a volume throw. I'll still lean Russell Wilskins, Um Terry
of the wide receiver as you listed, give me Zach Pascal,
(19:31):
and at tight end, I will go Darren Waller over
Jack Doyle. Although I do like Doyle, and Tommy Gunns
is asking for a sleeper tight end. I gave out
Jack Doyle last week after the Ebron injury. Um, I
like Tommy Gunns. I like Tyler Higbee as well. He's
coming off a nice performance now that Gerald Edward is
banged up. Let me know who's available for you, Tommy,
and maybe I'll give you another answer. Fernando dimas Um
(19:54):
with Golladay. Here's the thing in season long, guys, you can't.
You have to start your studs. You have to start
your guys. You have to start the guys who got
you there. Do not get too cute in the playoffs. Okay,
so yes, you would start Goladay even though it is
Wow throwing on the ball. There it is, Danny. Hey, hey, hey,
(20:16):
there you go. Oh you got Higgy already, Tommy guns.
That's fine, Tommy, Tommy. I think Higby is gonna be
just fine, all right, I really do. I think Higby
is gonna be just fine in a part of that offense.
He was a big part last week. Um. But in
any event, Ben and some of the others that are
trying to call in, uh, we're gonna open up the
phone lines in a hot second, Danny. Let people know
when you open them up, all right, and put in
(20:37):
the number to call it tight for four eight for three,
uh six eight seven nine. So Ben and uh d
Lee and a couple of others. Uh, you'll have your
time to talk to just spit in statistician. Let's talk
a little bit first, Danny. I can't believe this, Danny.
I want to talk about game of inches real quick,
Danny and um You're not gonna believe this, Danny. You're
(20:58):
not gonna believe this. Our four finalists, right, we're perrying
from week three the Chicago Beart sack on the last
play of the game, lost by point zero four. In
week six, Zach lost on the Mason Crosby field goal
could have been extra point greg in week seven that
was the thing that you had. Also, Danny, remember the
sony michelle Vis James White on Monday Night Football and
(21:20):
then week ten our guy to close with Chris Ventra
on the Jason Myers field goal in overtime. And I
gotta tell you, guys something, Danny put up. The Game
of Inches that I gave you the screenshot for. This
is also in the g S T League. Alright, you
guys know our boy Adam Roynas Ronus lost by point four.
(21:43):
That's a tough one. Had Russell Wilson lost by point four,
So that's tough, Okay, But I'm bringing this one up, Danny,
because I gotta circle back to venture and Game of Inches.
So yeah, Ronas lost this one by point four, and
this is the last week of the season. You see though,
that Adam Rynas is seven and five. You see that, Danny.
(22:06):
All right, now put up the g ST standings that
I gave you. Okay, there you go. And I do
this for a couple of reasons. One to show you
who's in first place, right, Danny, You see who? Who?
Who won the league? Danny? Who won the league? That
the name looks familiar. There you go, there you go.
So a lot of people y'all know about this. Billy
Hayes is sometime in the chat room as well. All right,
(22:28):
he's got a team in there as well. At Billy
Hayes finished third. But here's the thing, Danny, what if
I told you that in this league, the way the
six teams for the playoffs were decided, we're you know,
first was the best record, So that was me. I
got the one seed. But Danny, what if I told
you that the second place team would be whoever had
the highest points in the league, regardless of their record.
(22:52):
Do you see who that is, Danny, The highest point
total in the league, regardless of record. Yeah, to Adam Roynas.
Adam Roynas, even down at seven and six, his nineteen
hundred and seven points, even at seven and six, was
the highest point total in the league, beating me out
by eight points. So Danny, if you have to take
(23:14):
Adam Ryness in the playoffs because he's the highest point total,
and you have to take speed Cipher. You know what
they then do, Danny. They then take the next two
best records, so that's Medina Sad and Billy Hayes, and
then Danny, they take the next best points. So the
closer at eight and five, look at n y Post,
(23:38):
who's all the way down at four and nine. What
if I told you in this league, n y Post
got the final playoff spot, not the closer, Danny. So
you can take those standards off the off the stage
of the screen. But that means, Danny that with that
one loss that he had by his game of inches,
it meant that Ventra did not make the playoffs in
the G S T League because of his game of inches.
(24:01):
You're laughing in response, But that's messed up. That's tight, Danny, Right,
all you got all you have his laughter? I mean
because it's yeah, not because it's anybody. So here's what
I need, Perry Ying, if that lost by the Bears
on Monday Night football cost you the playoffs, let me know, Zach,
if that lost on the Mason Cosby field goal cost
(24:23):
you the playoffs. Let me know, Greg, if you're a
Week seven loss with James White and Sony Michelle cost
you the playoffs, let me know, because Danny, the game
of inches in Week ten literally cost Chris Ventra the
playoffs in an industry expert league. G st that's wild.
(24:43):
I know you can do his laugh okay, because it's
me that's messed up. And by the way, you saw
a Dane eleven and two dominant fashion in the expert League.
We'll see how much cash I went about that. Um uh,
we could also put up put up the pit league, Danny,
we put up standing is just so everybody knows pitt league.
Forget about fool gay zes in playoff position. George Kurt
(25:06):
shout out to him, e y our friend Eric Young,
the bff's uh the better car, Donal that's our feueless leader,
my car, Donald's son me and then never gonna pay
is Jim Day. What I noticed about this, though, Danny,
is that all the hosts made it, you know, um
except for Mr Ventra. Who's where's Antonio? Tain't that a shame?
(25:26):
Was Joe ROHNERI Davis Maddock right, just missed it, Um,
but you know, so it is me against the better
cardno in the first round of the playoffs, so that's
pretty good. And then put up another one. Put up
the Flex League, Danny yep um, and as you see,
this is the Flex League of experts. Adam Rowns again
doing big things. But he just want I want to
show you in this one, Danny, I'm in third at
(25:47):
eight and five. I finished with the three seed. The
sixth seed in this one is Jen Ryan of the
Football Diehards. But Danny, check out her points at eighteen
hundred and three points. She had over a hundred points
more than anybody in the league, and she finished in
sixth place and now at third place, I gotta deal
with Jen Ryan, the highest scoring point total of the
damn league. I gotta face her in the very first
(26:08):
round of the playoffs as the three seed. I don't
think that's right, Danny. What do you say you can
take those off the screen. That's messed up, though, right, Danny?
Third place? Like, I think I'm going good. I think
I might have an easier first round matchup and I
get literally the person who has the best team or
has the most points in the league so I'm not
excited about that. I must tell you the truth. But
in any event, all right, here's what we're gonna do.
(26:30):
Danny officially open up the phone lines. Okay, you have
them open. Oh and what do you know? It looks
like not only do you have them open, but we
have a caller. And let's take a caller right now.
It's Liz and CALLI. Liz and CALLI. Let's make sure
we get what you need to set your lineups week
four teen. I hope you can win a playoff matchup. Liz,
what's up? I haven't spoken to you in a long time. Dilley, Dilly,
(26:50):
how can we help you? Hey, how's everybody doing? Good? Good?
What's up? Well? First of all, I'll make a playoffs
things to cipher us always and uh And I had
a quick question though for an RB two foll PPR.
I'm studying the Devin Singletary. I'm not so confident about it.
(27:14):
So I was thinking I was switching in with Jamal Williams.
So you're asking Singletary or Jamal Williams. Yeah. Yeah. And
the thing is because the bills have buffalo, right, and
so you're a little bit afraid of that defense is
that it is that what it is list. Yeah, and
I understand that, But here's the thing. I'm ultimately my
answer is stick with Singletary, Okay, And the reason for
(27:36):
me is this, Liz, and thanks for the call. As always,
Jamal Williams is pretty much that passing back for Green Bay.
You know this, You've had him on your roster all year, right.
Aaron Jones get does a lot of the running and
Jamal Williams gets a lot of the catches, right, Liz. Yeah,
And so I don't think the Packers are gonna need
that to beat Washington this week. You know, they're one
of the big time favorites. Remember green Bay is a
(27:59):
is a two touched on favorite against Washington. So if
you play that out, you think they're gonna probably be
up big. I think they're gonna be up big against Washington,
and I don't think they're gonna need the pass catching
back as much, if that makes sense. So I think
Aaron Jones will be on the field a little bit
more as they try to run out the clock in
the second half, and I would just lean towards Singletary.
Makes sense, Liz, it makes total sense. Yeah, absolutely, And
(28:21):
absolutely happy to have you made the playoffs thanks to
the cipher for sure. Oh man, we got another caller
and it is uh. It is a real deal member

because Danny lost, right right right? You pushed out, Danny. Listen, Danny.
I didn't prompt him to say that. Man, It's not
like I prepped them or anything. But yes, Danny Lee,
(29:05):

how many do you need? Three? Three? James White, Philip
(29:46):
Lindsay and Miles Sanders are my three, especially if there's
no Howard and it doesn't look like how it is
even cleared yet, right, So Howard, James White because it's PPR,
and Lindsay for sure are the ones for me all Danny,
how does it feel though to be in the playoffs
in the first ever stats over beats league? You know, man, Hey,
(30:06):
I just appreciate the opportunity voted me and I appreciate
the cipher everyone. And you got your friendship bread already too, right,

ask what's up? The cipher grows, that's what's up. Well,
thanks for the calling, Danny. I gotta get back. We
gotta go to a break real quick. We got some
other callers. If you want to get down, please do Danny,
(30:27):

It's episode four hundred and twenty two with a fantasy
(31:34):
freestyle here on Sports Grade with the status over the
beats cipher. Here we're gonna do. I see people wanted
to call in. Okay, we're gonna get to as many
calls as possible, but we only got one segment left.
I gotta give you some DFS nuggets. We're gonna answer
as many of your calls as possible because I know
people got six start questions and that is quote unquote
must week, must win week. Jared is here. Also, he's
gonna be joining me on in Game Live. He filled
(31:55):
in for Joe Naryan maker Rain. We've been you know,
we've been talking forever, and you know, Jared, everybody on
social media that hits me up is like, I gotta
win this week. Like, yeah, it's the playoffs, you know, no,
no doubt playoffs. Talking about playoffs all right in any event,
But I do have some DF knuckets. I want to
get out and make sure I get out before we
(32:15):
go to the calls and before we go to my
thoughts on Thursday Night football. So I'm gonna tell you something.
I look at these totals again, That's what I always do.
I look at the totals first, right, and I see,
all right, forty seven for Caroline Atlanta, forty seven and
a half for Indie Tampa. That one looks interesting, uh,
forty eight for Kansas City, New England. But I kind
(32:37):
of think everybody's gonna be on Kansas City, New England.
So I like, I see, oh, forty seven and a
half for Tennessee, Oakland, So I'm gonna tell you right now,
I like this Indianapolis Tampa Bay game, all right, and
so you're gonna see a lot of these guys in
my lineup. And then oh, look at this Arizona Pittsburgh game.
(32:57):
I think that one is an interesting one as well.
So let's look at some of these guys I have.
I'm doing it again, people, I know, I do this
all the time. Every week. I'm like, yep, and I'm
going back to this guy, my DFS quarterback this week,
Jamis M. F. Winston again. All right, Jamis Winston is
atred against Indianapolis. Last week, he had a streak snapped
(33:18):
of throwing for three hundred yards and a touchdown. He
did that like six or seven games in a row.
And the reason he didn't do that is because the
Bucks were up like twenty five nothing at halftime against Jacksonville.
I don't think that's gonna be the case against Indianapolis
this week. Okay, So I think that Jamis will be
a volume thrower. I remember how I say what's good
(33:39):
for fantasy is not good for the real team. I say,
we don't want Philip Rivers, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan Jared
Goff throwing the ball forty five times because it's bad
for the real team, but it's good for the fantasy team,
and Jamis is one of them as well. Give me
Jameis Winston a undred against Indianapolis. I think you know
that was odd last week that they were able to
run for two scores. He's going back to slinging it
(33:59):
and you know you could literally pick either one of
his wide outs to stack with. Give me Mike Evans.
Mike Evans is actually the cheaper of the two wide
receivers on FanDuel. If you could believe that Evans is
at sundred, Godwin is at seventy. All right, I think
Mike Evans is actually going under respected right now because
(34:20):
everyone's all over Godwin. You know that Mike Evans is
still fourth in the NFL and targets for a hundred sixteen.
You know he's still third in the NFL and receiving yards,
and he's had four games in a row with only
four catches. I think that means the law of averages
is I'd go to Evans instead of Godwin. If you
want to do Evans and Godwin, I don't care. Remember
(34:40):
I said when got. Evans is third in the NFL
with ten ninety six receiving yards. Well Godwin is second
with more, Okay, and that speaks to what, Yeah, jameis
Winston throwing for them yards, So I'm gonna go Winston.
I'm gonna stack him with Evans at the running back position.
What have I been saying? I told you about Josh
Jacobs his prop bet when they were facing the Cincinnati Bengals.
(35:02):
I rail against Adam Gaze when they don't give Levian
Belle the ball against the Cincinnati Bengals. Who the Bengals
see this week, Cleveland, I don't care what the prices is.
I was like, oh, I'm gonna I'm gonna play Nick Chub,
And then when I went to FanDuel, he was se
that's cheap to me, all right. He's gotten twenty plus
carries in six of his last seven games. If he
(35:24):
gets twenty carries against this Cincinnati run defense, he will
run for a d twenty five yards. I'll take that
Nick Chubb. Another guy I like for a similar reason.
I think the volume will be there again is Leonard
four Nette. Okay, he got games scripted out of the
last game. That's same Jaguars Tampa Bay game. All right,
he has some catches, but they couldn't punch them in
(35:44):
the mouth the way they wanted to. Marone just got
finished saying the previous week that they got to give
Leonard Fournett the ball more. And I think that. I
told you I'm fading the Chargers in their travel west
to east. Right, I think for Net and the Jags
will run it out and run well. I like four
Net at sred. I gave you Mike Evans. Listen, I
believe in the duck hunting, all right, so give me
(36:07):
James Washington at only sixty seven hundred. I told you
there's no juju, right, I believe in duck Duck and
James Washington have a little bit of a bond. You
know they're gonna be throwing because Arizona is very fast paced.
This is going to, in my opinion, be throw and
throw and throwing. And James Washington has the apple of
Devlin Hodges eye. So I like that. And the last
one I did, I told you I was gonna be
(36:28):
on this game. Give me Zach Pascal at sixty unred
against Tampa Bay. Tampa Bay is the worst pass defense
in the NFL, and they have one of the better
run defenses. Now, Marlon Mack maybe back for the Colts,
but I'm gonna take these Colts pass catchers. I think
that's the way it's gonna go. I think I told
you it was a high total. I think both of
these teams are gonna be slinging it. So give me
Pascal six hundred. I'll double down and go with Jack
(36:51):
Doyle again as my tight end. I told you about
that on the waiver wire last week. He had six
for sixty three and a touchdown on eleven targets. People,
that's what you need out of a tight end. And
then listen for defense. I said it before. I told
you I believed in them as a double digit favorite.
I like the Houston Texans. Okay. I think the Houston
Texans secondary is turning a corner. They were able to
(37:12):
figure out Tom Brady a little bit. Now they have
Drew lock All right, come in to town. I'll take Houston.
I was saying, Minnesota versus Detroit. If you want to
spend an extra few dollars, all right, let's go to
some of these uh, let's go to uh some of
the phones here up next on the Fantasy Freestyle. Let's
go to Gary and Maine, Danny, Let's go to Gary
and Maine. Gary eure up on the Fantasy Freestyle with
(37:33):
the status of beats Cipher. How can we help you
win a playoff matchup? Brother man? How can we help you? Gary?
Win your leagues and win their gash dilly dilly. Actually,
I'm not in the playoffs on the bottom six. Okay, okay,
you still gotta get double, all right, so do what
you gotta do, brother man. How can you help um?
I got my third and also adding to that, I'm
(37:54):
in last place and I got Todd Curley. Sometimes sometimes matchups,
the matchups, you know what I mean. I'll say this, Gary,
I advocate for people playing more than one matchup in
a week. You know you could play multiple teams, so
you're you avoid some of that bad luck. But go ahead, Gary,
how can I help you? Uh two? For tonight's match
(38:15):
my third Flix spot. I got our second split spot
rather Montgomery or Singletary. I like Singletary. A lot of
people are asking about Singletary, and I know you may
also be a little bit worried about them going up
against Baltimore on Sunday. But I think Singletary is kind
of ascending. Um. And who was who was the other one?
It was Singletary, who was a Montgomery Dave Montgomery, Yep,
(38:37):
I do kind of like, yeah, I do kind of
like Montgomery tonight. I do kind of like Montgomery tonight.
We were talking about it in the morning, the idea
of we think the running backs are going to do
well today against Dallas as opposed to the past game.
That's a coin flip, Gary, Really it is for me, Um,
you know what, because it is a point? What's that?
(38:58):
Are you leading more towards Dave Devon? Yeah, my slight
lane would honestly be Singletary, Gary, it would be Singletary.
But I do think it's really really close. I could
see a valid reason for you the one. But my lean,
if you're asking me, would be towards Devin Singletary on Sunday,
even though it is the Baltimore Ravens. I think he
could do someone in the passing game as well. All right,
(39:18):
all right, thank you anytime, Gary, Thanks for calling. Uh,
let's go to Nick in Colorado. It looks like Nick
and Colorado. What's going on? Man? How can we help
you win your leagues and win that cash you were
on with the spitting statistician. Thank you, guys, thanks for
having me full point PPR. I've got a wide receiver
lineup question for you. So right now, I've got Julio
(39:44):
Godwin and Parker from Miami and my wide receiver one
too in flex I like that. I've got Keenan Allen
and Allen Robinson benched am I making the right moves,
are making the right moves Keenan Allen or uh whoever?
They do not cractice. You gotta start Julio right. I
know they say he's a little bit banged up, but
(40:05):
if he's active, you gotta start him. You have to
start Godwin at this point. And honestly, you know this
better than most nick like Davante Parker has been an
absolute beast in the last month. Okay, so you can't
take Parker on your lineup at this point, right, I
think that's you gotta go with those three. I think
you have it right. I understand you probably drafted Keenan
Allen and like the second round, there's something you know.
(40:25):
You probably started your draft Julio Jones and Keenan Allen
and now you're like, oh, man, I'm gonna sit my
second round draft pick, right, But no, you gotta have
Parker and Godwin in there. Those are the three with
Julio Nick. Okay, thank you guys. All right, anytime we
can do one or two more, Danny, let's do uh,
let's do the two more we've got. You know who
we got. If you're the cipher, Connor and Tampa. Connor
(40:46):
and Tampa, what's going on? It's not a cipher without
you on the phone. How can we help you? Connor?
You know what a man? Real quick? I swear to
God like literally like one of the most like inconsistently
and like like like one week we'd blow a team out,
in the next week we get blow the hell out. Man.
That's why, honestly, Connor said it. You you can make
(41:09):
settings where you play like four teams in the league
every week, so after week one you don't go one
and O O and one, you go like three and one,
and that mitigates a lot of that. I may do
that in the Status over Beats league next year. But
what's your what's your question? Connor? So I gotta buy
so this is for next week now, not this week.
So the quarterback right now is Kyle Allen, but we
had but we have Derek Carr. We have Derek Cark,
(41:31):
Kirk Cousins, and um, Sam Donald on the waivers, Like,
what's you those guy? Yeah? I gotta look the matchups. Right,
So you're talking about a week fifteen, Well, the Jets
have Baltimore, so it ain't gonna be Donald. Um week fifteen?
Who else did you say? Oakland was one? Right? You
said car They've got Jacksonville. Kirk Cousins might be my answer.
(41:51):
I think kirk Cousins is my answer. Minnesota. Yeah, at
the charges, Um, I know the charges have a good
secondary all, but they're gonna be done by that. Kirk
Cousins is my answer. Connor. Yeah, okay, Man, Well, thank
you real freaking like two hundred bucks on the line.
So good luck to your brother. Good luck to your brother.
I gotta get to one more call. So give me
a call next week and we'll see how it goes
(42:12):
out because you're worried about next week. Last call is
Dan and Jersey. What's going on? Dan? How can we
help you when you're leaving within that cash? What's going on? Jane?
So my teams are a little bit weird. But my
question is I got my receivers and my flex okay,
and so right now my wide receivers, I got his
super cup lock it feelings who might not even play
(42:34):
and Sambo sam You're like, I put one of my
flex Spotify two. So all right, so you're obviously starting
cup and lock it right for me? Chark, Yeah, you
started locking the cup, and I would have Chark in
the flex spot now and you know feeling. To be
quite honest, even if feeling can go, I'm not running
them out there the first week back. You're the interesting
(42:56):
in my league is that I can put in my
flex either a tight end of running back or wide receiver.
And I also have uh, Mark Andres and Doyle. So
I don't know if you want to do like Mark
Andrew Doyle because my other run Yeah, you definitely want
to put mark Ingram in there. Mark, you definitely put
mark Ingram in there. Yeah, So what I wanted for
the flex spots and I put in Doyle, Jamal Williams
(43:18):
or Deepo Samuel Samuel, because right now I have fake it.
I would go with Doyle of those, I would go
with Doyle of those. I think Doyle is gonna get
the targets. I really do, Deebo Samuel will not sure of.
And the other one you said was a running back,
I believe right, yeah, Jamal Williams Now, I don't like
Jamal Williams this week. I think they're gonna run the ball.
They're not gonna need the PPR back against Washington, so
(43:38):
it would be ingram in there. Thanks for the call, Dan,
all right, with only a minute left, guys, I gotta
tell you about this game, all right, I gotta tell
you about this game that's about to pop off. First
of all, if you really you know, Jared taught me something,
and if there's heavy juice on a prop bet, I'm
gonna take it anyway, all right. And so yes, Mitchell
Trobiskie will throw an interception today and I'll lavee the
juice on that. All So, I like that one. I
(44:01):
have a slight lean to the home team plus three
the Bears. I just think, listen, I have not seen
Dallas beat a five hundred or better team, Okay, I
just haven't seen it. And I don't necessarily think the
Bears are an amazing team, but they are at home,
it is Thursday night. Both of these teams have had
a week because they played on Thanksgiving. I have a
slight lean to the Bears as a home three point dog.
(44:21):
But what I really like is the Tarik Cohen props.
Dallas is the fifth worst in the NFL to the
running back position. Out of the backfield, Tarik coh in
three and a half receptions or twenty seven and a
half yards. I think you can go over those. And
on the flip side, Chicago has allowed ten rushing touchdowns.
They don't have a Keen Nix Alright Hicks in there anymore.
I saw both Scoreborough run for ninety eight yards against them.
(44:44):
Give me all the zeke all the time, including him
getting into the end zone for minus one forty. Hopefully
you win your playoff matchups everybody, and you're still here
for Fantasy Freestyle next week when you're one of the
four teams left in the semifinals, and we can still
win our leagues and win that CA shout them out.
NFL season is now upatos, so you can become the
(45:06):
eighth person away one million dollars in a Fandueler Draft
Kings tournament. My sittinger lineup using the Daily Order dot
Com DFS lineup optimizer. If you're playing Daily Fantasy Sports
and not using Daily Order dot Com, you're doing there
all sign him down for the NFL Access with a

(45:28):
first ten percent discount. Daily Order dot Com where millionaires
are made. Here's what you missed on fitnessy Freestyle. I'm
just going into week fourteen in most settings, all right, unless,
of course, if you re Memben Danny Otto down in
(45:49):
the pit of misery in an eight team league, then
maybe you're still playing in the regular season. I you know,
I had to do it, Danny. I had to do it.
But um, most people your playoffs fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen,
so week four team it is playoffs, and you know, Danny, Um,
I'm not gonna talk about your league, I promise, But um,
people are hitting me up on Twitter left and right
or asking me questions whether it's on Patreon, on Twitter
(46:10):
or whatever in the chat room, and everybody precurses this
one like I've got to win this week. Uh, it's
a must win for me. This week it's the playoffs.
Of course, it's a must win for you, all right,
and that's how we will treat it accordingly. All right.
We will cheat it with the seriousness that it means,
because it's survived in advanced time. You gotta win to
(46:30):
keep on going so that we can ultimately win your
leagues and win that cash. So here's some of the
names you need to look at um in terms of
the injuries and how they're trending throughout the week when
it comes to practices. Right, First of all, you gotta
know Darryl Williams was sent to I are by the
Kansas City Chiefs today. All right, this is important to me.
Remember earlier in the week when I told you Darwin
Thompson is gonna help win people leagues. Well, Daryl Williams
(46:54):
is now and I are Damian Williams hasn't, you know,
hasn't practiced. They've said they are managing Shady McCoy's reps.
Like Andy Reid just said it out loud. Shady has
admitted it. I'm telling you get as many shares of
this committee as you can because it is going to
be a fluid situation and having that production would be interesting.
(47:15):
Josh Jacobs did not practice today, Davy. Let it be
known that he's actually playing through what is a fractured shoulder.
That's absolutely ridiculous. He's still top five in rushing, still
the likely rookie of the year in the NFL. But
keep an eye out on that um because maybe not
this week, but if a gang's banged up anymore, or
if the Raiders get bounced out of contention, he may
(47:35):
be another player on that list of players that may
get shut down. All right. Also, Gerald Everett did not practice.
Remember I told you Tyler Higbee might be the tight
end to own. I even had him in the waiver
wire earlier in the week. Hunter Renfro didn't practice with
rib Adam Feelin still didn't practice with that hammy. James
Conner has been ruled out already, uh for the Pittsburgh Steelers, Okay,
with that shoulder injury, James Conner. Listen, I weeks ago,
(47:59):
I told you I was really worried about Connor, and
then he played what a quarter? And again when we
haven't seen him since. I think he's played a quarter
in like the last seven weeks. I know because I
have shares of him in high stakes leagues or my
big home dynasty league where I'm looking to go repeat.
Um so, and they also though said which is really bad.
They also said that Connor is closer to getting on
(48:20):
the field than Juju is, So that means to me,
we ain't gonna see Juju either. How do I parlay
that into my DFS lineup? Be sure to follow all
